Camping trip, Walls, Howards. Destination, Willow River State Park, NW part of the state, near Hudson. Has a big waterfall. The group stopped on the way up to hike in the Black River State Forest (code name “Tick Alley”).
Throwgolf won by Tim, acknowledged as the greatest Throwgolfer of his generation, holding the record for major championships (1). The course was considered difficult, with trees, brambles, bushes, and other assorted shrubberies serving as obstacles, and these, combined with huge distances (40 ‘ !!) between buckets, was a supreme test of grit and concentration.
Tim and Eillen next camped at Pettibone private campground, just over the bridge from down town LaCrosse. Our next door neighbors were Jean W and Joe G, in their shiny Airstream. Festivities were sponsored by the wider Wilhlem clan and included pontoon boat rides and a wedding reception, held on the Pettibone grounds.
